(AP) A six-sided controversy orer the American sugar tariff was aired today before the house ways and means committee and through the maze of technical and economic discussion emerged pro posals for both Increases and de creases In existing duties and re quests for and against limitation of duty-free Imports from the Philippines. This discussion revived a dis pute that has been dormant ever since the tariff commission pro posed a reduction In the levy more than four years ago and upon which no executive action ever has been taken. The 'testimony was of such technical nature that at times even the witnesses were stumped. Once the hearing turned irom me aireci suoject or sugar duties to that of Philippine inde pendence. Increases Requested Using the present full rate of 2.45 cents. a pound on raw sugar and the 1.76 cents Cuba pays un der an allowance 'of 20 per cent granted by treaty, American cane and beet sugar producers asked for various Increases and the lim King of Philippines Imports to 500,000 tons, which Is -slightly unaer ner present production. Fred Cummings. Fort Collins. (Colo., representing the Mountain States Beet Growers association, proposed a one 'cent increase on Cuban sugar, making the rate 2.76. He contended sugar was the only food product selling now at pre-war prices and--that beet growers could not compete with Cuban and Philippine imports. Rates Held Ruinous Appearing for the American Sugar Cane league, C. D. Kemper, of Franklin. La., asked a three TflY STATE (Continued from Page 1.) said he would' make no attempt to .retain his office, "however, as it would create a situation of dual gorernment- which he Fished to avoid. Acting Governor Holoway, in the letter notifying Governor Johnston of his assumption of the office, extended to him the privi leges and use of the executive of fices during the period of suspen sion. The acting governor said he would continue to use the office of lieutenant governor. ' Republican Leads Supporting- Forces Although Governor Johnston is a democrat, opposition to his sus pension was led in the senate by a republican, W. T. Clark of Med ford. - A resolution which would have pledged the senate against suspension was tntroductd by Clark and Fletcher - Johnson, democrat of Bristow, before tho impeachment charges reached the senate.' ? r Clark contended ' that - the - per sonal Integrity tt - the - governor had not been attacked am! .thai noJ harm would be done, by allowing him to continue in office, 'After the charges . were received, John ston pressed-for consideration -of the resolution but bis notion was brushed : aside with a substitute calling for . acceptance of the charges,, which automatically sus pended the governor. "' Newspaper Editor --"' Opposes Suspension : Telegrams asking that the gov ernor not be suspended were re ceived earlier , In the afternoon "by several senators from C. , Robert Bellatti, publisher of two: news papers at Blackwell. The tele grams said - that sentiment In the northern section of the state was against: suspension,; among: both democratic and republican' clti sens. . : - ""st v" ; The senaterT;burt;rof impeach ment was organised soon after the suspension, was. ordered, Chief Justice C. W. Mason of the sUtfe supreme court, who. under the constitution is presiding officer of the Impeachment court, adminis tered the oath of - office to mem bers. ; January "3 8 was ' appointed i the, date for appearance of Gorernor Johnston f before - the court to enter a pies, and a recess turn! Friday. January - 25, was taken. , . , SENATE FOK TO n cent rate and - a Cuban duty of 2.40. He argued' existing rates permitted Cuba to lay down sugar in New York at 3.77 cents a pound, or considerably under that which the cane growers could ob tain at the same point. He also contended that, if Philippine im ports were restricted, any in creased demand upon American producers could be met easily by Louisiana and Florida growers, v Opposing the Philippine limits' tion. Major General Frank H. Mc- Intyre, retired, former chief of the bureau of insular affairs of tbe war department, and now rep resenting the Philippine govern ment, contended the Islands' lm pons naa no eiiect on sugar grown elsewbere under the Amer ican flag. To continue the pres ent policy, he said.: would be in accordance with the free trade principle which should be accord. ed the Islands so long as they re main under the American flag. Commissioner Heard Pedro Guervara. Philippine res ident commissioner, also opposed the limitation, : declaring if i pro tection were needed the best way to obtain It would be to grant the Islands their Independence. ! To restrict Philippine imports. ne said, would be tantamount to sanctioning the "un-American principle of considering a country foreign for one purpose and do mestic for another." . While Cuba was denied a direct appeal to the committee under the law, her case was Indirectly pre sented by H. A. Lankln, of New York, representing the American producers and importers of Cuban sugar. He recommended a cut in duties, but mentioned no specific figure. He contended Cuban nro- duction had not increased under the present tariff, ithat any in crease would tend to raise prices to tne American consumer, and that American growers never could produce enough sugar to meet all domestic requirements.

Constables Bill Tabled House Bill 36, proposing repeal of a law. relating to constables. was tabled, and House Bill 37, proposing consolidation of laws relating to expenses of county of ficials, was re-referred to the re vision of laws committee.

CEHTION OF COrJTHOL TAKEN UP (Continued from Page 1.) should be limited to reciprocity only, the courtesy of licenses ma chines of one state being accord ed courtesies in the other. The conference will affect particularly trucks and delivery vehicles.' - The revised, schedule of motor fees giving a reduction to all cars and offsetting this reduction of revenues by an additional tax of one cent on gasoline, as recom mended by the special senate com mittee -will be printed today and a joint meeting, of the two house committees on roads and the one senate committee will take up the suggested readjustment. Dunne Seeks Still More Redaction In Fee At the meeting Monday, Sen ator Dunne of Multnomah sub mitted a still greater reduction of fees, but taking tip the slack with a 2. cent tax on gasoline. The cut on 'passenger cars in the Dunne suggestion is $2,270,278 and the reduction on trucks. $133,334. His 2 cent tax would raise $2, 423,200. , . When the three committees on roads get together they wish to Iron out the whole problem at once, have their public hearings and then make their respective recommendations. Also set for consideration by the triple committee is the recom mendation of Senator Bennett that the license fee year start July 1 A similar proposal was made by Senator Elliott In 1927, but there were so many obstacles dealing with the administration and change that the subject was drop ped. It was considered incidental ly by the property tax relief com mission, but no action was taken. Another angle developed Mon day among tbe -major subjects. this being the report of the special legislative committee on the tele phone situation. ' Representative Carkin who, as speaker of the 1927 house of representatives, had much to do with the personnel as well as being one of its members, has not yet signed the report. This report charges telephone rates with being too high, recommends that every municipality has the right to fix its own rates and fur ther recommends that congress direct a national Investigation o f the telephone business. Mr. Carkin as handed the report today, af ter all other members had signed it, but he does not favor the idea of every town making telephone rates to suit Itself. UrS.
